News   Kirby Rolls into TV Land
- Posted By Dan Doll, 05.13.2002

With Kirby games in development for both GBA and GCN, a Kirby television series is only fitting. Here's some of what Nintendo had to say:

"In the Kirby cartoon series, the well-rounded video game character uses his famous copy ability to take what his opponents dish out and send it back at them. Kirby's unique power is the inspiration for the show's tagline "Kirby: Right Back at Ya!".

During the course of the series, Kirby will be
transformed into Fire Kirby, Sword Kirby, Block Kirby and more.

"Kirby's television debut marks the natural progression for a Nintendo character that has remained strong and popular around the world," says Gail Tilden, vice president, network marketing, Nintendo of America Inc. "4 Kids' new Saturday morning kids network on Fox, combined with their brand building and licensing expertise, make them the perfect partner for Kirby. We're tickled pink!"

The Kirby entertainment initiative originated in Japan under the guidance of Warpstar, a joint venture company formed by Nintendo Co., Ltd. and Hal Laboratories. Warpstar is responsible for developing the Kirby animation series and managing the property worldwide. The television series debuted in October in Japan on the CBC network."
